Remediation
To remediate the misconfiguration of missing CNames for a GCP storage bucket in GCP DNS using the GCP console, follow these steps:
-
Open the GCP Console (https://console.cloud.google.com) and log in to your GCP account.
-
Navigate to the Cloud Storage section by clicking on the menu icon in the top-left corner and selecting “Storage” under the “Storage” category.
-
Select the storage bucket for which you want to add CNames.
-
In the bucket details page, click on the “Edit website configuration” button located in the top bar.
-
Scroll down to the “Custom domain” section and click on the “Add a custom domain” button.
-
In the “Domain name” field, enter the desired domain name or subdomain for your storage bucket. For example, if you want to use “assets.example.com,” enter “assets” in the field.
-
Click on the “Add” button to add the custom domain.
-
GCP will validate the domain ownership by providing you with a unique verification token. Copy the token provided.
-
Open a new tab or window and navigate to your DNS provider’s website.
-
Sign in to your DNS provider’s console and locate the DNS management section.
-
Create a new CNAME record for your desired domain or subdomain. In the “Name” or “Host” field, enter the desired domain or subdomain name (e.g., “assets” or “assets.example.com”).
-
In the “Value” or “Points to” field, enter the storage bucket URL provided by GCP. It should be in the format “c.storage.googleapis.com” followed by your bucket name (e.g., “c.storage.googleapis.com/example-bucket”).
-
Save the CNAME record.
-
Return to the GCP console tab and click on the “Verify” button next to the domain you added.
-
Paste the verification token you copied earlier into the provided field and click on the “Verify” button.
-
Once the domain ownership is verified, click on the “Save” button to apply the changes.
-
Wait for DNS propagation to complete, which may take some time (usually a few minutes to a few hours) depending on your DNS provider.
After following these steps, the CNames for your GCP storage bucket will be added and properly configured in GCP DNS using the GCP console.
To remediate the misconfiguration of missing CNames for a storage bucket in GCP DNS using GCP CLI, follow these step-by-step instructions:
-
Open the GCP Cloud Shell or ensure that you have the GCP CLI (Command Line Interface) installed on your local machine.
-
Authenticate with your GCP account by running the following command:
gcloud auth login
-
Set the appropriate GCP project where the misconfigured storage bucket resides:
gcloud config set project <project_id>
-
Verify the existing DNS records for the project by running:
gcloud dns record-sets list --zone=<zone_name>
Replace
<zone_name>
with the name of the DNS zone where the storage bucket is located. -
Identify the missing CName record for the storage bucket. It should have a type of
CNAME
and a name corresponding to the desired subdomain. -
Create the CName record using the
gcloud dns record-sets transaction
command. Start a new transaction by running:gcloud dns record-sets transaction start --zone=<zone_name>
-
Add the missing CName record. Replace
<subdomain>
with the desired subdomain and<bucket_name>
with the name of the storage bucket:gcloud dns record-sets transaction add --zone=<zone_name> --name=<subdomain> --type=CNAME --ttl=<ttl> --rrdatas=<bucket_name>.storage.googleapis.com.
-
Commit the transaction to apply the changes:
gcloud dns record-sets transaction execute --zone=<zone_name>
-
Verify that the CName record has been successfully added by running the following command:
gcloud dns record-sets list --zone=<zone_name>
-
Check if the CName record is resolving correctly by using a DNS lookup tool or running the following command:
nslookup <subdomain>.<your_domain>
Replace
<subdomain>
and<your_domain>
with the appropriate values.
By following these steps, you should be able to remediate the misconfiguration of missing CNames for a storage bucket in GCP DNS using GCP CLI.
To remediate the misconfiguration of missing CNames for a GCP Storage Bucket in GCP DNS using Python, follow these step-by-step instructions:
-
Install the necessary libraries:
- Install the Google Cloud SDK by following the instructions provided in the official documentation: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install
- Install the
google-cloud-dns
library using pip:pip install google-cloud-dns
-
Set up authentication:
- Generate a service account key file for your GCP project by following the steps mentioned in the official documentation: https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/getting-started
- Save the generated JSON key file securely on your system.
-
Import the required libraries and authenticate using the service account key file:
from google.cloud import dns from google.oauth2 import service_account credentials = service_account.Credentials.from_service_account_file('<path_to_service_account_key_file>') client = dns.Client(project='<your_project_id>', credentials=credentials)
-
Retrieve the existing DNS zone:
zone_name = '<your_dns_zone_name>' zone = client.zone(zone_name)
-
Retrieve the existing records for the zone:
existing_records = zone.list_resource_record_sets()
-
Identify the missing CName record for your GCP Storage Bucket:
bucket_name = '<your_bucket_name>' cname_name = '<your_cname_name>' cname_ttl = <your_cname_ttl> cname_record = dns.Cname(cname_name, bucket_name + '.storage.googleapis.com.', ttl=cname_ttl)
-
Check if the CName record already exists in the DNS zone:
cname_exists = False for record in existing_records: if record.name == cname_record.name and record.record_type == 'CNAME': cname_exists = True break
-
If the CName record doesn’t exist, add it to the DNS zone:
if not cname_exists: changes = zone.changes() changes.add_record_set(cname_record) changes.create() changes.wait_for()
-
Once the CName record is added, verify its existence:
existing_records = zone.list_resource_record_sets() cname_exists = False for record in existing_records: if record.name == cname_record.name and record.record_type == 'CNAME': cname_exists = True break if cname_exists: print('CName record added successfully.') else: print('Failed to add CName record.')
By following these steps, you should be able to remediate the misconfiguration of missing CNames for a GCP Storage Bucket in GCP DNS using Python.
